ingly well for the instructions they have

We are always glad to help them and to
see their efforts prosper.
The Fair and Supper being held by the

enough to spend something with them.

rooms are supplied with Scribner's,

was sad event and greatly regretted
throughout the entire community. He
will be remembered as only those. whose
thoughtful courtesies and kind acts are
seen and felt in the every day jostle and
rush of life, one of the few who lived
out the good intentions that escape so
many, that time has not power to lessen
or erase. My personal recollections of
him will always be of the kindest and
best, and it is needless to add that the
of every one is with his family
and friends. LEONE.

GREENSBURG ITEMS.

The latest diversion from the ordi-
nary routine of life IN this section is
the organization of a Grange Society
at this place. A meeting was held at
the school house some time ago to ex.
plain the workings and benefits of the
order, and to solicit membership. A
sufficient number to organize enroll
Ell their names and later on meeting
to initiate was held. So we may con-
clude that the organization is pretty
well under way and a full fiedged
society will be the result.
1t seems to US that what the far
mers need most in this direction is an
agricultural society. lido not mean
Grange with closed doors nor c0mpa-
ny for holding fair. but an assOcia-
ton without any money invested,
consisting of members from all parts
of the county, TO meet regularly at
some suitable pointin order to discuss
farming interests pertaining to what
ever season OF the year may be APP
preaching. What grand spectacle
it would be to see all the farmers of
Berkeley County assembled to discuss,
with open doors, whatever matters
pertaining to their interests. Why
has Berkeley County never organized
such society while her sister counties
have thoroughly organized societies
holding regular me etings. A society
of this kind could have no objection
able features to any one and would
undoubtedly be wellrepresented from
all parts of the county. That it would
benefit the farming community there
can be no question since it would be
means of bringing the farmers togeth-
er, and introduce new things into the
county, and be safeguard against
fraudulent agents. Furthermore the
meeting would be pleasantand agree
able to all, and in measure relieve
monotony of farm life.
We are pleased to report a double
this week. Two daughters of
Mr.. Philip Welshans were married
Miss Genie was married to
Mr.. Ferdinand Randel of this county,
Miss Lily to Mr.. j Jefferson Maury from
near Winchester. The nuptial cere-
monies were performed at the home
of the BRIDES parents by the Rev.
Mr.. Fout in the presence of an assem-
bly, Offriends and acquaintance. After
the ceremonies which took place about
II O'Clock, the company were invited
to partake of bountiful dinner.
After dinner Mr.. Maury and his bride |
started for Winchester, while the 9TH
er remaining for the afternoon.
Mr.. Leatherman of this place has
traded his farm for portion.of Mr..
Becker's land lying on the opposite |
side of the Opequon.
Rev. Mr.. Fout preached at the |
Church Sunday last.

WHAT TRUE MERIT WILL DO.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee' s
German Syrup within few years has as
tonished the world. 1t is without doubt
the safest and best remedy ever discover
ed for the speedy and effectual cure of
Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung
troubles. 1t acts on an entirely differ
ent principle from the usual prescrip-
tions given by Physicians, as it does not
dry up Cough and leave the disease
still in the system, but on the contrary
removes the cause of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in a
purely healthy condition. A bottle kept
in the house for use when the diseases
make their appearance, will save doc
tors bills and long spell of serious i'll
ness. A trial will convince you of these
facts. 1t is positively sold by all drug
gists and general dealers in the land.
Price, IS cts, large bottles.

things, and the necessity of securin.
